TV News

-The sci/fi cartoon Futurama, by Simpsons creator Matt Groening, is returning! Fox has brought back the show with its full, original cast (due to fan pressure).

-Paris Hilton will guest star on Supernatural, and only God knows why (or possibly the devil.)

-Victoria Beckham is replacing Paula Abdul as the third judge on American Idol, or possibly just guest-judging like she did on Project Runway (which returns this month...finally.) Perhaps it was the sitting-on-Mexicans that ended things for Paula. Regardless, it took me awhile to remember that Posh was ever anything other than a famous stylista married to the much more beautiful British Brad Pitt. (Beckham over Brad any day, by the way.)

-Jennifer Ehle (A.S. Byatt's Possession) is set to star in the TV adapatation of epic fantasy series/novel Game of Thrones by R.R. Martin. She is joined by the rugged, ubiquitous Sean Bean and numerous costars including Peter Dinklage.
